Balancing goats

This video of goats playing on some sheet metal was posted by francophone Max Murs a couple of months back, and has already been seen by over 8 million viewers. Sorry we were late to the party:

Max writes (I translate):

On Sunday, at dinner time, my little family discovered a new game – this sheet metal. I filmed my goats balancing – their names will remain a secret out of respect for their privacy 🙂 . In the evening, I sent a copy of the video to a friend, and everything took off from there, really quickly. I don’t think they really know what’s going on – they carry on chewing as though nothing had happened… Who is enjoying themselves the most? I’m not sure.

That’s great fun! The ram seems to encourage the kids but doesn’t join in as it is tied to a rope. He looks like he could be the father of the two kids, and the brown goat the mother. The edges of the sheet metal must be very sharp, which could lead to some serious injuries and even a slit throat… I’d never let small children play like that or even go near the sheet metal for that very reason.
